Dose Portland Or. have a health Ins. plan for the uninsured?

Question

Moving there soon and have health issues.

Answer 1

Yes, it's called the "Oregon Health Plan" (OHP Medicaid). Here's a resourse for you;

Answer 2

Only if you are disabled and on SSI (medicaid), or retired/disabled and on medicare. Otherwise, as earlier stated, only children and pregnant women.

There are places you can get health care at a reduced rate if you meet the income guidelines, though I am not sure where they are in Portland. A local help line or social services should have the info.

Answer 3

The Oregon Health Plan currently only takes Pregnant Women & children under 18.

The Plan used to be open to everyone, but they had to limit it, due to lack of money.
